Thanks for the reply. However, this was not about get or renew a driving license. Just a new driving license card due to wear and tear. Btw, If I want to drive (rent a car as example) here I will addition need an international permit which is easy to get issued back home for either one- or three-years and as long as you do not renew or need to make other changes to the original driver's license, which is initially issued for 100 years with a requirement for a medical certificate after the age of 70, it does not prevent insurance, etc. from being valid.

Personally, I have my bank accounts and have been with Bangkok Bank exactly 29 years and also have accounts in Krungsri so this is not about bank accounts for me pr. today but if this develops into be all banks and other platforms not to forget official offices, it could eventually cause problems for me and many others, I believe, who have simply emigrated from their home countries.

I don't understand. If I live in my home country permanent with address there and stay in a condo or house, I can have a national Id card valid even to board flights in all Schengen without passport, but I don't live in my home country and my permanent address is here. My passport I renew, when necessary, at the embassy in Bangkok. Last year I was visiting relatives' home for a couple weeks and at the same time want to get a new "driving license card only" due to wear, and tear carry it in my wallet for 45 years but no was the answer, you have no address as living here. So how are the regulations for all of yours who can have a home address connected to passport in prvious home country if you are from USA, Germany, France etc. and have moved out and the only address you have is here🤔 Or only on long-term tourist / visas? Thanks Felt

Very possible, and there's more money to be made by pushing people into Elite visas and LTRs, and we know who started the Elite visas and who's holding the strings now. Just the word elite in a country on the verge of bankruptcy can make one think about the kind of people behind it.🤔🙃 Felt

Great, not. So those of us who have lived in Thailand for decades and have no address in our previous home country what do we do? One thing for me personally is that before the year is over Bangkok Bank is going to see my account shrink to max 500 baht. Happy new year Bangkok bank. Felt

I don't think it will work for us foreign Thai tax residents with tax treaties, as most tax treaties and that's it, are actually treaties based on two countries, not one way or more like our method only as it is always presented in the media here. Our method only doesn't work in treaties. Felt

Anyone has experience with Hainan Airlines from Bangkok to Europe via Beijing? Thanks Felt

Will it also include foreigners with tax resident status to deduct 15,000, - on taxable income or...? Felt

Excuse me but do I hear that if a foreigner has money in a regular savings account in Bangkok Bank, the money is locked🤯. I myself have a significant amount in a regular savings account but have never used any of it to extend a marriage / retirement visa. But after following this tread for a while its looks like Bangkok Bank is the not bank to use anymore just out of principle and I have thought and will move my savings to Krungsri where I have two accounts but not really been in a hurry and hopefully it's not as Bkk bank freeze any foreign account because it could possibly be a visa extension account? Thanks Felt

The border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia has been a long-standing conflict. When France colonized Cambodia in 1863, they drew a border for the country. This has been constantly disputed by Thailand. The conflict flares up from time to time. This time the conflict has escalated after a Cambodian soldier was killed on May 28 at the border. Thailand has accused Cambodia of laying new mines that injured Thai soldiers. Internal political conditions in Thailand and Cambodia are often the reason for the flare-ups and the border dispute is being used to mobilize nationalist feelings in both countries. In this case, it is particularly political circumstances on the Thai side that may explain the escalation. Background The border is particularly contentious because of the Preah Vihear Temple, which is located in the area. This is an ancient temple located on a mountain ledge near the border between Thailand and Cambodia. The Preah Vihear Temple, which Thais call Phra Viharn, has significance both as a cultural symbol and a religious place of worship for people on both sides of the border. The temple was built in the 12th century during the Khmer Empire, the ancestors of today's Cambodians. However, the area has been under both Cambodian and Thai control throughout history. – Back then, there were no nation-states, but dynamic borders. It was the Europeans who were concerned with the map, and what is mine and what is yours, who brought the border with them during the colonial era. In 1962, the International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled that the temple belongs to Cambodia, but the conflict flared up again in 2008 when Cambodia applied to have Preah Vihear registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Has anyone experienced home visits from immigration after extending their Retirement visa? I thought it was only when extending a spouse visa, but an acquaintance had heard otherwise! Thanks Felt
